Dear Interested Friends and Colleagues:

This is to contact you about the new Arabic dictionary I have written.  The
reason is to get the word out, and to inquire if you would like to avail
yourselves of it.  Because of the size and bulk of the printed version,
inquiries for
electronically-delivered sample pages are welcomed.  The material I have
prepared is shown below for your convenience.
Please tell me what you think.  Thank you.

--->  Special Note:  The title has been changed, as below:

shall find this an effective and very useful new tool.

glosses and definitions are amply provided.

b.All Arabic entries are fully-vocalized, in 24 point Geeza Pro Arabic
font, for maximum clarity and readability.

c.Clear Listing of each Entry.  Each Arabic root is preceded by an
asterisk, and is listed in alphabetical order.  For convenience and
accessibility, transliterated Roman equivalents follow the Arabic root
listings in brackets.

d.More than 2,000 roots are listed.

e.Derived forms of verbs, participles, nouns, are listed explicitly.
(I.e., Form 5, Word-Medial Vowel).

e.Irregular forms of verbs are listed explicitly.  (I.e., Word-Initial
Glide, Word-Final Geminate).


f.For the Arabic entry database, the main sources used are current
(web-based), Arabic news media articles and editorials, in addition to
classical and religious sources, Arabic novels, current Arabic
